The oilers wouldn’t be the first to come back from 2-0 in a SCF, but they’ve got to do some serious adjustments going forward.

Draisaitl and Bouchard have especially got to figure out whatever is wrong, although I have a feeling we’re going to find out Draisaitl is injured after the series. He looks like he can barely skate

With Barkov they would

He’s shutdown every superstar so far in these playoffs and key to Florida winning this series



He wasn’t cleared to get back into the game so there’s clearly damage done

Yeah, you got that right. Barkov has been gold this playoff. When you look at the names he has shut down, it is impressive even for a Panther-hater. He is a legit Conn Smythe contender if they win this thing, although I can't see anyone but Bob getting it. As much as I dislike him, he has been all-world this playoff.

I'm not an Oilers fan but I am cheering for them in this series.

That said I don't think I've ever seen more hate to a team in my many years on hfboards than I have this year to Edmonton.

I agree there's been quite a few controversial calls/non calls but come on folks, the Panthers aren't angels.

and the nice names people are calling McDavid....Mc( fill in the blanks) I thought was against the rules.

Even some mods/admins are joining the hate party. lol

For the record, IMO,the only play that is worthy of a review by George is the hit on Barkov.

Lol, all is fair in love and war though, right?

What comes around goes around pal, just ask Marchand.

Show me the, left his feet and put elbow in someone’s grill, hits that the Panthers have done. Go ahead, they must be plentiful and easy to find....
They are aggressive and hit everything and everyone, but go ahead and show the hits Panthers have thrown like this one on another team’s top player.

Maybe Bennett should show his appreciation once again...

And who cares about Marchand? Is he playing in this series?

Solve Bob and they have a chance. I don't think the Panthers dominated in game 1.

Before game 1 Barkov was the leader for Florida by bettors, game 1 probably gives Bob the lead currently.

Kucherov, Panarin, Pasta, McDavid, Drai have combined for 1 goal at 5on5 vs Barkov these playoffs

If he’s seriously hurt I’d put my money on Edmonton, nobody is as valuable as Barkov right now

Yeah I saw a lot of posts like these with insults and everything fine. I am not even a fan of both teams and I just said elbow should be suspendable but bennet did the same and nothing so Panthers side should not be furious. Then get insta moderated censored. No insults. Very disappointed in this but in the end it's playoffs and I doubt anything happen, just want some good hockey but both games been boring tbh

Oilers were gifted multiple powerplays to try and "get them going" including powerplays at crucial, potential momentum swinging moments.

If you're an Oilers fan and you're complaining about officiating then may God help your soul because you are lost in the desert my friend.

Look at the regular season, they are always gifted powerplays and sit at the top of the league every year with the #1 PP smoking teams. They are shocked to not get a call every time they throw themselves all over the ice diving.

What does the refs failing to penalize Bennett have to do with a clear as day elbow to the head of Florida's best player? And what does that hit have to do with this one?? Kane blasted Tkachuk and Bennett in game 1 with no call, that shit happens.

To the worried Oiler’s Fans I’ll say this:

This year for the Oilers has reminded me a lot of the 2009 Season for the Penguins. I’ve been saying this from early on. They started off underachieving, fired their coach, hired a rookie coach in Dan Bylsma, and won the Stanley Cup against a loaded Detroit team.

The Penguins also lost the first two games of that series in Detroit eventually winning the Cup in 7 in Detroit.

Another similarity-- the league didn't suspend Malkin for instigating a fight in the final minutes of one of those games. With Golden Boy treatment, which Draisaitl will receive, anything is possible.

The Oilers' strategy has played out perfectly thus far. They've focused on setting tone for the series, throwing big hits, etc. and now they are in a perfect situation to turn the series in their favor. The Panthers have gotten couple lucky bounces with the puck and they are in the lead now not because of their skills or effort but because the Oilers have allowed them to get to where they are now. Oilers in 6.

TIL treating one player the same as any other player is 'Golden Boy treatment'.

If the Oilers wouldn't concentrate so much on trying to buy calls, maybe they wouldn't be in this mess.

SWEEP


Lets go Panthers!


Edmonton does not even make the playoffs if they were in the Atlantic. They got a free pass playing against trash teams in the west as they always do every season. They have played against LA the last three seasons in a row in the first round of the playoffs, Cam Talbot, then you have the Vancouver Canucks who have not made the playoffs in eight years, what a joke. Then Dallas is a middle of the pack team in the east. I will say it again. Edmonton does not make the playoffs in the Atlantic.

You're right in that Edmonton had the easiest path a team could ask for, but they're only here because Dallas had the hardest path imaginable. Edmonton would not have made it past all 3 of Dallas, Colorado, and Vegas.

The east is awful and is propped up by the two Florida teams dominating. Florida has ragdolled every shitty team in the east.. oh wait those are supposed to be contenders? Yet Vegas rolled right over the team that shit pounded the east last year. Funny how that works
